JAGUAR Type E - 1973
N° de Série : 1S74743VBW Launched in 1961 to replace the famous XK, the Type E takes over the 3.8-litre 6-cylinder engine block with double overhead camshaft, while at the same time offering new technical developments. It has four independent wheels with disc brakes and an all-new rear suspension with four telescopic shock absorbers with integrated springs. After two six-cylinder series, the 3 series made its appearance in 1971 with real aesthetic and mechanical modifications, the main one being the replacement of the six-cylinder with a sumptuous 5.3-litre V12 engine. The displacement offers significant torque with a 272-horsepower engine. This larger engine can be mated to a 4-speed synchronized manual transmission or a 3-speed automatic "Borg-Warner" transmission. The brakes become ventilated. The V-12 is powerful, supple and smooth to use making the Type E more of a GT than a sport bike. The Type E is and will remain the most iconic car of the Coventry firm. A true monument of automotive history, it is today particularly desired in all its variants. The Jaguar Type E of our sale is a 3 Series coupe, therefore powered by the 5.3 litre V12 engine. It was delivered new to the American market in 1973 and is equipped with an automatic gearbox. The car features a rare livery in the typical 1970s tone, combining a brown paint scheme with a chocolate leather interior. It is equipped with best effect spoked rims, long-range lights and air conditioning. The car is in very good working order. His file traces the maintenance performed on the car since long before it was imported from the United States. It is equipped with a stainless steel exhaust system that enhances the sound of the voluptuous V12. The tires are new and the chrome has recently been restored. Our Type E, which has a FFSA passport for regularity rallies is not lacking in charm. Our collector tells us that the car has received a total refurbishment, engine redone (0 kms), g
